Pieve Santa Restituta Description
Pieve Santa Restituta is Gaja’s estate in Montalcino, purchased in 1994. It is the family’s first expansion outside the Barbaresco and Barolo areas since its establishment in 1859. Brunello is a combination of all the vineyards in Montalcino owned by the Gaja Family. The name of the winery derives from the ancient Pieve (church), situated in the middle of the estate, whose foundations date back to the 4th century AD. VINEYARDS Part of the grapes from Rennina and Sugarille vineyards are blended with those from Torrenieri, in the northeastern area of Montalcino. While the soil in Rennina and Sugarille is clay-calcareous with high amounts of Galestro, the ground in Torrenieri is a mixture of clay, tuff and sand. First vintage of the estate was 2005.
Tasting Note: The nose exhibits complex floral and flowery notes, leaning towards sweet, ripe fruit such as Morello cherry and plum, adorned with chocolate nuances and sandalwood. Charming, soft tannins create a long and pleasant mouthfeel. The structure is full, with well-balanced acidity and tannins, culminating in a finish highlighted by savory, salty licorice.
